In fact the self-styled “show about nothing” was so important we can talk about the pre-Seinfeld and post-Seinfeld eras.

Key Points: 
  • In fact the self-styled “show about nothing” was so important we can talk about the pre-Seinfeld and post-Seinfeld eras.
  • But Seinfeld abandoned the traditional sitcom structure of an A story and a B story and instead gave each character their own storyline, full of self-aware and metatextual jokes.
  • They also employed a rapid-paced, quick-cutting, music-led style that was then unusual for sitcoms.
  • This created the opportunities for expanding the narrative and cinematographic possibilities we’ve seen since.
  • Seinfeld was a forerunner of the cinematic television we watch today.
  • Seinfeld tackled a host of then-taboo topics, which were part of everyday life, including antisemitism, same-gender relationships and masturbation.
  • The show generated billions of dollars in revenue, making NBC US$150 million (about £93 million) a year at its peak.
